This car was originally sold by RBM of Atlanta to Thomas D'Alessio. He sold it to the father of the man who I bought it from. The previous owner's father was a Mercedes mechanic and the car was passed to his son when he died. It was meticulously maintained with every service and oil change recorded through his ownership and from the first service at RBM. Every page of the service book is completed. When the son had the car he embarked on a comprehensive maintenance and restoration project starting in 2005 and mostly complete by 2009. He did this as a tribute to his father whom he knew had cherished and maintained the car. His car licence plate read: FORMYDAD
There are pages and pages of receipts for the part that he purchased for the car during his ownership. I have not gone through the entire list of receipts but the total dollars spent must be huge. Some items have been replaced several times during his ownership.
The car was stripped to bare metal, doors and fenders removed and painted in the factory cream color. The paint is of a very high quality. There are no door dings or scratches in the paint. All new cad plated hardware was used for re-fastening the body parts. New cad plated door, hood, trunk latches were installed. Every rubber part on the car was replaced. Window, door seals , trunk seals, everything is new. New anodized trim was replaced on the body. The only items not re-done are the front and rear bumpers. There are some scratches on the front bumper. All glass is very nice. Grill parts have been replaced and look like new.
He re-built the engine and transmission in August of 2005, The engine had over 210,000 miles at that time. Currently it has 226,900 miles. The exhaust system was also replaced at this time. In January of 2005 he completed a rebuild of the complete rear end. The list of items is extensive, but includes, cv axles, re-balance drive shaft, new sub frame mounts, rear shocks, torsion bar and bushings, differential mount, park brake cables, rear coil springs and mounts, and more. Tires have good tread but have not been replaced recently.
From 2005 to 2013 many more items were replaced along with meticulous maintenance for standard items. A new PAC automatic climate control system was installed. All A/C componnets have been replaced. The steering box and bushings are replaced. Brake calipers were replaced.
The list of small mechanical items is endless. The vacuum system has been completely re-done and all vacuum is very strong.
The interior has had a great amount of attention. Many switches and other parts are new, like turn signal stalk, cruise control stalk. Re-finished wood. New carpet. The dash is original and there are several cracks in the dash. The seat leather is original and there are some cracks in the driver, passenger and at the top center of the rear seat. Overall the upholstery is still very nice and would only need to be replaced if you wanted the car to be perfect. Headliner has no damage just some staining.
Everything in the car works as it should.
The trunk is spotless with new carpet and rubber mat. The jack and tool kit are with the car as is the un-used spare.
Underside of the car is very clean with no signs of ever having any rust. Many of the new drivetrain and suspension components are visible in the photos.
This is as well presented as any of these cars that I have seen. I can't imagine another 300d that could have had as many components replaced as on this car. Along with the continued high level of maintenance that this car has received, I would imagine that it will provide very many miles of good service for the next owner.
The car has it's 250,000 kilometer award from Merceds Benz Cassic .

UK workers strand car on island of asphalt to keep working
Wed, 06 Feb 2013Generally speaking, when you illegally park your car, you're likely to get ticketed and towed, but there is probably at least one motorist in Scotland who wishes that was the case. After workers had blocked off a portion of the parking lot for the Edinburgh Waverley railway station, the driver of this Mercedes-Benz S-Class reportedly moved some of the barriers to park in one of the empty spots.
Rather than having the vehicle towed, the work crew simply tore up the asphalt around the leaving just the one parking spot intact, and as you can see in the image above (posted to the Twitter account of Harold Norstad), the crew even built a small asphalt ramp so the car could get off its blacktop pedestal. Since this happened last week, there's no word as to whether the car was eventually moved or towed for the resurfacing work to continue.
Let this be a warning...
Mercedes-Maybach SUV concept headed for Beijing reveal in April
Mon, Mar 19 2018Mercedes-Benz has toyed with the idea of a Maybach SUV for at least 11 years. According to Autocar, we'll finally see a concept with production intent at the Beijing Motor Show next month, the luxury SUV slated for market release next year. As has been the rumor for at least six years, the Maybach people carrier will be based on a stretched version of the GLS, which moves to the company's new Modular High Architecture with the 2019 model. Back in 2007 when Maybach was its own brand and selling roughly 300 units per year, Car magazine reported that brand chiefs were interested in convertible versions of the Maybach 57 and 62 sedans, and an SUV. Maybach built a one-off concept based on the GL — the former GLS-Class — in 2009, but never took the idea further. The rumor popped up again in 2014, then in 2015, reaching not-if-but-when status early last year. A decade on, it's finally time to play the hand. Even though the super-luxe SUV would sit on a stretched version of what is already a three-row SUV, it's reasonable to expect the Maybach SUV will only get two rows. That would give designers plenty of extra room for seating luxury and amenities even beyond the S-Class Maybach. On the other hand, if Mercedes sticks to the rough Maybach playbook so far, a triple-row Maybach would be the only such SUV in the mid- to upper-six-figures. The S-Class 560 4Matic starts at $102,990, the S 560 4Matic Maybach starts at $168,600. Applying that spread to the $94,500 GLS 550, you'd land around $160,000 before adding the markup for a new generation. That kind of starter pricing might make a great tweener proposition. Mercedes could focus on a range of buyers who want to go upscale from the $125,300 AMG GLS 63, without needing to worry — yet — about challenging Bentley and Rolls-Royce. Power is said to come from some version of the company's oft-applied 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 that puts out 462 horsepower in the S 560, but the 3.0-liter inline-six hybrid in the S 560e is under consideration. We'll know next month, when the lightly veiled concept takes the stand in China. The full-on production version should get an introduction at this year's L.A. Auto Show. Related Video:
2014 Mercedes SL and SLK add small expansion to Takata airbag recall
Fri, 11 Jul 2014Mercedes-Benz is the latest automaker to be affected by Takata's massive airbag recall. The company has announced a voluntary recall campaign on a small number of model-year 2014 SLK- and SL-Class roadsters.
In Mercedes' case, 300 vehicles are affected, 200 of which are in the hands of customers. According to spokesperson Donna Boland, the affected roadsters were built between March and April of this year.
The issue, which is apparently the fault of one of Takata's subcontractors, rests with some improperly installed fasteners, which could keep the airbag from performing the way it's supposed to. According to Boland, Mercedes isn't sure what, if any, injuries the recalled airbags could cause, but simply claims there's an increased risk in these particular vehicles. There's been no reported instances of the faulty airbags deploying on a customer and the original issue was found in a production test.
